Goodness me, this does take me back. In the 1950s our family car was a 1938 Plymouth. As far as I remember this exactly replicates the experience of being driven in that car. My father had owned it from new. His job as a commercial traveller in Western Australia meant that by the time he traded it in (in 1960) in had done over 250,000 miles! The new car? Another Plymouth - an Australian assembled 1956 Plymouth Belvedere. I learned to drive in that one!
I've always loved these near-WW II cars. Refined, beautifully designed and built in a world where every Dollar counted. Gave the most for the buyer's money. I'm in my mid sixties and can remember when these were still very much on the roads. Thanks so much!
@@Mhats The European war was not scholastically termed a 'world war', son, until the US entered after Pearl Harbor and two days later Hitler declared war on the US. Slept through your world history classes?
I could listen to that gearbox for days, its amazing that after all of those decades the car is still running smoothly. A really beautiful car you guys got your hands on.
That’s so funny. I was just thinking that myself. My father had a 39 in 1966 when I was very young. As soon as I heard the gearbox I instantly recognized the sound. It was his going to work car, the first second car we ever owned. Thanks for the memories.
Thank you for taking us on a tour with this beautifully preserved Chevrolet. Love American Cars from this era, in such Original state. Love the transmission whine :)

Great video, brings back childhood memories of my Dad's Chevy back in the 1950s. Us kids back then could do something kids today can never experience: standing on the running boards while Dad took us for a drive!
Just curious , on the '36 was the shifter on the floor or on the column like this one in the video? I am guessing in 36 it was still on the floor. From what I can gather doing research the column shift was introduced in 39. Can anybody confirm or refute this?
Had a '38 and a '39, both in excellent condition beyond tired motors. I put a 351 cleveland with a C6 in the '39 and a 302 with a C4 in the '38. This was done in '78. The '39 is still on the road. In a 4 years period a friend and I likely built 30 old chevy and pontiacs from the mid '30s through the late '40s. They were all returned to the road with ford power and transmissions we'd get from low mileage wreaked cars. We didn't cobble them, they were built with the physics and solid. Like the '39, 6-7 of them are still on the road.
@@forestbowers5965 One reason we did it, plus we were both Ford fans, MOPAR second. Plus, $40 got us the motor and trans if we pulled it, chevys went to some shop next town over. I've still never owned an actual chevy and I don't think my friend ever did unless it was before I knew him. Also had a friend that blew his '66 GTO 389. Bought a '69 Road Runner his girlfriend spun like a top down a ditch bank the same week he bought it. Pulled that 383 with it's 727 in that GTO. Thing was hotter than that 389 ever was. I seen it about 10 years ago, has a 440 and still on the road.
I had forgotten the little Chevy shutter on start up in first gear. It used to be possible to buy a kit that had a couple of bars that were attached to the rear motor mounts ( if I remember correctly ) and to the frame. Stopped the engine from rotating on the frame. ( I drive a '37 sedan, now a restomod.)
My name is Laurajane and I'm from New Zealand 🇳🇿. My Dad had a Chevy the same as this one. That was in the 1950s, this has brought back a lot of fond memories, thank you. I do have a 1950 Mercury Montclair coupe that I love to drive around.

What a beautiful car- inside and out. It's impressive how upscale the car looks inside and out considering it's only a Chevrolet. Those late 30's to early 40's American cars had tons of rear leg room because of the design. By 1950 the early postwar American cars did not have nearly as much rear legroom and cloth seat disappeared too. Late 50's Cadillacs had magnificent styling but quite spartan interiors ( I'm referring to the materials for the seats).
This video brings me joy. The beautiful lines of the car, the sound of the engine reminds me of a sewing machine, the pleasant view of the scenery and the joy on his face while driving the car. I myself own classic Chevrolets. Driving my 1936 Chevrolet is the one that brings me the most joy. I wish y’all well. 🙌🏾 Pat Austin Texas USA

Hello. No first gear is not synchronized, but in Europe we are not used to drive with automatik transmission. I have Been driving cars for 50 years, all manual gears and the first ones Were all without synchronization of first gear, so one gets trained for it. 😊😊👍

Looking at the dash, it this was a bread-and-butter Chev in 1939, I can only imagine what the Cadillac division had to offer !!! I learned to drive in a 1941 Chevrolet Fleetwood in the 50s..... Greetings from Australia Les Griffiths
My grandad had a black '39 Chevrolet when he, my grandmother, & mom, left Omaha for California in '40. He still had it in '42 when they drove back to visit his family. I've always wondered what became of the car.
I was expecting it to be a l9t slower. Seems like the drive was smooth regardess of the rattling. I'd see myself owning a car like this. Thank you for keeping this part of history alive!!
This vid takes me back...way back! I love the sounds of the standard transmittion! I think a little Glenn miller/Tommy Dorsey music from the radio would be nice. By the way your Chevy started, I would guess you changed over from 6 volts to a 12 volt electrical system. I had fear that any of the 6 volt cars I had back in the day would start so I'd leave them running outside if on a quick errand. Sadly, in the GTA, Ontario Canada, all the mechanics who knew how to service these are all retired or RIP
One key to using 6 volts is to have the correct gauge battery cables. Original cables are about twice as thick as current model 12 volt cars have. Welding cable works great for the application.
Nice car. Properly driven too. I also like the fire extinguisher on the floor. I always believed fire extinguishers should come as standard equipment in automobiles.
Took me a moment to realize this was a European (Denmark?) version, as the speedometer went to 150 (KPH, not MPH). That would equate to about 93 MPH, which is still probably faster than the car could go, but the speedometer would be reasonable for the late 1930s, early 1940s. My guess is the car would truly max out around 100 KPH. Car itself was beautifully maintained.
